การกระจายตัวของฟิลเลอร์ไม่ดี: อาการและการแก้ไข

"Bad dispersion" is often diagnosed when the real problem is the wrong filler level or an unfinished chemical reaction. Separating the two saves a lot of wasted mixing energy.

Symptoms of genuinely poor dispersion

• •Visible agglomerates on a torn or cut surface.
• •Tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance all below expectation together.
• •High viscosity that does not fall with further mixing.
• •Large scatter between test specimens from the same batch.

Check these before adding mixing energy

• •Was the filler added with the oil, in portions? Adding oil separately from filler usually causes soft, low-shear mixing and poor incorporation.
• •Is the dump temperature high enough? Dispersion needs sufficient temperature and shear.
• •Is the polymer masticated enough at the start? A very high viscosity polymer cannot develop the shear needed.
• •For silica, was the silanisation window met? Incomplete coupling looks like bad dispersion but is a reaction problem.

What actually helps

Increase the number of mixing stages rather than the speed of one stage, keep the ram pressure and fill factor correct, and check rotor clearance — worn rotors are a common and frequently overlooked cause of a slow decline in dispersion quality.

Ask for micrographs or a dispersion rating from your supplier if you suspect a chronic problem. ## Need the documents or today's price?
